Ryanair threat to pull out of Dusseldorf
Wednesday, April 22 16:25:39
Ryanair has threatened to pull out of its base at Dusseldorf-Weeze if the decision by the OVG Court in Munster to restrict the airport's operating hours is not overturned.
Ryanair has today stopped accepting bookings on all flights affected by the change in the airport's operating hours.
The airline will review the Court's decision with the Airport and its lawyers but confirmed that the base will close if the court decision to restrict operating hours is not overturned by Wednesday 29th April.
Ryanair currently operates 6 based aircraft at Dusseldorf -Weeze, which deliver 2.5m passengers p.a. and sustain 2,500 local jobs, most of which will be lost if Ryanair closes its base at the airport.
Ryanair's Deputy Chief Executive, Michael Cawley, said: "Ryanair and Dusseldorf-Weeze airport have been a huge success story for the entire region. We have grown our routes and passenger numbers rapidly but the OVG Court decision will result in the loss of 2,500 local jobs and Ryanair's 2.5million passengers p.a. if this unworkable, unfair and unnecessary restriction to operating times is enforced.
